《Just a Rock》Chapter 16: Overqualified
Advertisement
The worker stretched out his hand and grabbed the stone on the other side of the river. Did I forget to mention he wasn’t on the same side as the rock? How careless of me. Oh well, it made that chapter more intense. It works.
The worker flipped the stone around a few times and found several flat sides to it. Obviously, the stone hadn’t been in the river as long as the rock was. That is, if it ever was in the river in the first place. Perhaps, the old fisherman had found this poor stone in the woods, separated from the larger pieces that created it, and decided to take it in. Maybe, it was wrong to blame the stone and treat it as an evil captor. After all, the rock was doing the same thing now. It was all a matter of circumstance. However, karma does not care for circumstance as the stone was carried off towards the bridge.
It was placed in a pile of other similar stones, but that was not the end. Another worker came along, put a stick up against it, then suddenly hit it with a pick, breaking pieces off it until it matched the stick. Conformity. These workers were like dictators, making sure their subjects were as similar as possible to lower the chances of unpredictability. Not only were they dictators, but they were thorough dictators, as the one that picked up the stone glance in the rock’s direction and started crossing the wooden framework.
Halfway across the framework, the worker slipped and almost fell into the water. Alas, no such luck, as he recovered and continued on his way. Even if he slipped, it wouldn’t cause much harm nor would it prevent him from the task at hand. It’d only delay the inevitable. It seemed no rescue would come as the worker headed towards the rock with an axe in hand. Despite being aimed towards the net beneath the rock, it was still intimidating and the rock would’ve be scared if it was anything but a rock.

The net became loose and all of its captives were freed. The prisoners became free while the wardens became the prisoners. The worker picked up the rock and examined it. He quickly found it to be unnaturally smooth and somewhat of an oval shape. The rock was perfect in a way. However, the worker seemed to disagree and tossed it to the side.
Was the rock not good enough for his needs? Nonsense. The worker realized how special the rock was and how much of a waste it’d be to use it for a bridge. The rock was overqualified for such a job. Surely, the worker would state as such if he hadn’t been distracted by a voice coming from the nearby woods.

Shoot on sight
Zone has no owner, it has its rules It shows no mercy, to both wise and fools. It has no God, it gives no hope It gives to kind, last rites and rope. It’s a Hell on Earth where demons thrive But people kill, to get inside. People kill, to leave this place People die, for a chance to stay. For those, outside, they dream of horrors We live inside, horrific borders. We live, we thrive, just like those demons. Here, our lives, they have a meaning. Zone has no God, it has no Devil But it has us and its enough We are in Hell or maybe Heaven Gates are here, in front of us. The Zone has many rules and none of them would make much sense to you, living on the Outside. For example here, you would never hear, “I’m sorry for your loss”. Only silence would be the answer. The most empathetic action you would receive, is an open flask and a nod. People here don’t expect to live long and happy lives and even the most optimistic person at most, would hope to die inside of a blender. It's the most painless and quickest way to die in The Zone, and the cleanest. Your body would be torn apart in a second by countless gravitational pulls, all centered on you, leaving nothing but a red circle outside of its perimeter.

The world is not what it once was. Altered forever by ‘The Reckoning’, the survivors of humanity struggle to live on, drifting as nomads or forming small communities, sustained only by their own blood and sweat. This is the world that Esterian is born into. After learning of his father’s death at the hands of one known only as the 'Shadow of Heaven', he vows vengeance. But there are other forces at work as well. The rulers of the land, beings of unimaginable power known only as the ‘Holy Ones’ would twist Esterian’s rage to serve their own perverted motives. So too would the band of rebels called Advaitha, shrouded in mystery, their seemingly noble motive of reclaiming the world for man hiding a much darker agenda.
